Indian cricket team sweats it out ahead of key series against Pakistan

“The team had a full practice session. They wanted to have it in indoors but things looking bright, wicket is very good and the outfield is also good. So, they thought they will not do it indoors. They will practice again tomorrow and in the evening session,” said D. Kumar, spokesperson of Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB).

The Pakistan team landed in Delhi on Thursday for the series. The visitors have won their only warm-up one-day match against the Delhi Ranji Trophy team by seven wickets on Friday.

Pakistan, which last won a Test series in India in 1986, is due to play five one-day internationals and three Tests.
